I agree

“I agree. I’ve also lived in large cities where people really didn’t know each other and issues were handled on large scale by people you didn’t even know. It’s great to live in a small town like Moultrie where your voice can be heard."

In response

“Mrs. Hayes, in her letter to the editor, is repeating the lie that children are not allowed to pray in school. As long as they do not disturb class, children can pray from the time they enter school until they leave. However, most of us know what she really wants is school-lead prayer, probably by someone with her (I'm guessing Baptist) beliefs.

"I wonder how she would feel if a Catholic teacher started the day with a ‘Hail Mary’ prayer? or a Jewish person that did not acknowledge her Christ? Do unbelievers get a chance to be heard?

"Thankfully, at least in this country, the religious majority can no longer legally force their views on others."

Buchanan

“Buchanan’s ‘Grounds for concern’ thoughtfully sidesteps the fact that we confront a ‘righteous regime’ whose declared project involves the annihilation of those it deems infidel. What’s a ‘Great Satan’ to do? There’s no role for duplicity in any effort at constructive engagement with such a party. Keep it simple: 'Live free or die!'"

Need signs

“Norman Park needs to erect signs for leaving the city limits on Coolsprings/Ellenton Road. Citizens that are new to area speed up and get ticketed unfairly after there are no houses. City limits go to Perry Road. Only a 45- mile per hour sign is erected on the entire road all the way to Coolsprings. Beware!"

Mexican history

“A teacher, students and a pinata? Since when do we teach Mexican history? There is enough American history to go around. We don't need any more attempts of trying to inject Mexican culture. Does this teacher cover Irish or Scottish history? I'd like to see how much American history has been learned by this teacher's students."

Change

“Well, nothing else to complain about so the ranter starts talking about changes. The fact is people change with time, either change with us or get left behind."

Small town

“Always happy to oblige our big-city cousins with a little grass roots entertainment. We can only lament that the big-city pressures driving a more intense ‘to and fro’ experience permits leaving behind those passions that prompt some of us to the belief that the unfelt life isn’t worth thinking about – let alone living. No heart; no center of gravity. Glad to hear it’s addicting."

We better wake up
Dear editor:
Have our GOP representatives gone to sleep or are they refusing to act for the people they are supposed to represent? The Obama administration has contracted a Spanish company called SCYTAL, to tabulate the 2012 November presidential election.

May God bless my Uncle Henry
My uncle once noted on his return from a fishing trip that he caught so many fish he couldn’t put them all in one pile.
That’s how I feel trying to keep up with all the causes and organizations that either require support groups or else they comprise support groups.

A kind humanity
Dear editor:
Humanity. One word. That word can translate into many other words. Some would say humanity is dark, greedy and bent on world domination. Others may say humanity is sweet, kind and caring. I myself witnessed a small part of a loving, caring humanity the other day.

Why it's a bad tax
Dear editor:
In regards to the Transportation TSplost Tax: The statement, “Economic development suffers if we don’t pass this tax” is not a valid statement, because Georgia has always been behind the 8 ball in regards to transportation, but yet look at the growth we have experienced; being behind in transportation didn't hinder economic growth. Georgia now ranks 11th in the country as of 2010 and this occurred mostly since 1995. The economic vitality of Georgia is alive and well considering the slump the country is in.

I am saddened
Dear editor:
A couple of weeks ago, I attended Field Day at Sunset Elementary where my oldest daughter attends the Pre-K program. I was deeply saddened to hear that Mrs. Vicky Watson will be retiring this year.
